Prompt: Yard (Garage) Sale
I walked up the driveway past the closet doors propped up on saw-horses, covered with old sheets and blue tarps and other odd blankets. Stuff filled every table all the way up the drive.
I wandered my way into the garage, looking at all the wonderful treasures for sale.
“How much for the lawnmower?”
“It’s not for sale.”
“Why Not?"
“It's behind the rope. The only stuff I'm selling is in front of the roped off area.” The woman was not going to be easy to persuade.
“How much would you take for it anyway?"
“It's NOT FOR SALE! I use it, to mow the lawn. Just the stuff inside the roped off area."
I wandered further into the garage, looking at a nice wicker laundry basket with only one good handle. The woman had moved further toward the inside door of the garage, that led to the kitchen of the house. “How about this drill press, how much for it?”
“Would you please stop wandering behind the rope, ma'am. Only this stuff out here is for sale."
“You sure?”
“YES, I'm sure!”
On out through the door I went, and…
DANG, five minutes is not very long!!

Poste Script - Sorry this is a bit late. But Steemit was broken tonight. And I'm not smart enough to find a way around the broken parts, to be able to still use it. Though I know there is a way to do these things. It works now. Thankyou verymuch.
